I have recently started practicing samatha or absorption meditation. You focus on the breath and go through various stages towards the first jhana (described as a feeling of rapture and joy).

My question is:

If someone becomes proficient at this type of meditation, could they use it for mastering WILD and if so, why isn't this specific meditation talked about a lot more for lucid dreaming (or perhaps it is, I'm new to DV!)?

(Wasn't sure if this should have been posted in WILD or meditation)
